locking hub

question for the ford guy's my right hub is really hard to turn just wondering if anyone else has that problem also If I spray WD40 on it will it hurt it?. I mean I had to use a wrench to turn it today.

I have rehabed my share of warn hubs. wd will not hurt it but it won't help in the long run. take it off and flushit with carb cleaner or solvent. the mistake I made once is to put to much grease in. when the hub is disengaged it is pulled back by the spring. to much grease can slow or stop a disengage. I use synthetic grease as it is less effected by heat and cold if you do it right that will be the last time unless dunk it in salt water or mud and water. if the hole thing blows up upon removal remember you have the other hub to lock at. kind of like doing rear brakes one at a time.
